Samburu Simba Lodge

From the moment you step foot into the Samburu Simba Lodge, the warm welcome of Africa can be felt, an enthusiastic team awaits you in the impressive large, stone-walled reception. The lodge is located in the Buffalo Springs Reserve which lies next to the Samburu National Park and views of the Ewaso Nyiro River give guests a glimpse of the vast savanna that surrounds the lodge, green trees and shrubs breaking the beige and browns in sight.

Villa-style buildings line a rock-clad walkway, each housing rooms on two levels, with a small balcony and views out over the surrounding, vast landscape. There is a spacious restaurant and sitting area and the swimming pool has a slasto deck surrounding it with a poolside bar serving guests relaxing under the African sun. A massage parlor, gift shop and conference center round up some of the other facilities that can be found at Samburu Simba Lodge. Guests can enjoy outdoor dining, bush dinners and cultural visits during their stay at Samburu Simba Lodge.

Game Viewing / Activities

Game viewing starts from the outdoor sitting areas of the Samburu Simba Lodge where guests have a chance to see animals such as elephants, Gerenuk, buffalo and waterbuck come to drink. Out on game drives in the Buffalo Springs Reserve, predators and prey cross paths under the watchful eye of crocodiles lazing in the Uaso Nyiro River with rare species such as the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s Zebra always a delight to spot. Bush walks and birdwatching are two other ways to enjoy wildlife encounters when staying at Samburu Simba Lodge.
